DISTRICT COURT
GRINDS SLOWLY
ATTORNEY ANXIOUS TO DISPOSE
OF CASES IN WHICH JUD3E
RUSSELL IS DISQUALIFIED.
Tho county attorney's office Is
making every effort to cloar the
di-cket of criminal cases In which
Judge Itusseil Is disqualified lleforo
his election to the district Judgeship
Stlllwell H. Itussell was employed In
a great many criminal cases. It wits
said of him at ono tlmo that ho was
employed as counsel in overy mur-
der case on the docketn of the fed-
eral courts In tho Chickasaw nation.
Those In which ho wan not for the
defense he w.in employed to prose-
cute and as this county fell heir
to its pro rata of those cases It has
been rather a difficult matter to got
them disposed of. The cases ur old
and witnesses have scattered.

when tint aut-- hopes to bo able to

he does not understand why a pri-

Interesting suit In which tho people
